THE AMATEUR SPORT INDUSTRY: NOT A SECRET ANYMORE!
Most likely, you‘ve stumbled upon this website because you‘re interested in a franchise for you or your spouse and thought "Hmmm...sports. That sounds like fun. But what is the potential and can we really (I mean really) make a living doing this?"
Consider this your wake up call.
During a 2003 interview, our Founder/CEO, Frank Fiume was asked for his opinion about the amateur sports industry as a business. Frank quipped "Amateur sports is the greatest secret in American small business today." Well, the secret is out as more entrepreneurs are earning a living operating a sports franchise today than any other time in history.
In fact, FRANdata, the franchise industry‘s leading source for objective information and analysis reported in February 2007 that Sports Franchises represent the fastest growing segment in the franchise industry today!
Here are just 5 reasons why the Amateur Sports Industry is at the most exciting time in history and offers tremendous opportunity:
According to Sports Illustrated: Youth Sports Backgrounder, over 42 million kids participate in amateur youth sports each year.
Regardless of the economy, do people ever stop playing sports? Regardless of financial conditions people find a way to put their child in a sports program.
There is a continuing upward trend of local parks and recreation departments, schools, and churches seeking to partner or contract out services for private entrepreneurs to operate sports programs due to lack of staffing or financial reasons.
Due to obesity awareness, more Americans are seeking ways to get their kids active (while having fun). Participating in sports has so many benefits above and beyond just exercise. Kids who participate in organized sports do better in school, have better interpersonal skills, are more team-oriented and are generally healthier.
Finally, operating an Amateur Sports franchise is a home-based opportunity that offers freedom and requires no upfront inventory and no need to purchase any real estate (or long-term lease).
It‘s well known that entrepreneurs that invested in the fast-food industry back in the 1970‘s and 1980‘s reaped legendary benefit. Today, there are indications pointing to sports and child-related franchises as being the next great era in franchise history.
If you are business-oriented and sports is your passion - now is the time to join the industry leader and become part of an exciting rapidly-growing market – all while running your own business from the comfort of your home.
